Brighton

Built at The Longhedge LCDR locomotive works to a Kirtley design in 1893, 1602 was one of only three out of 10 classmates that survived into BR ownership although the '3' prefix was never applied to the number. Allocated to Reading in January 1950, withdrawal came in the following July and scrapping was at Brighton works where this shot was taken in that same month.
